Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

72 – 1:58. 1:58. 1:58.

A space that humans refer to as ’empty’.

Bloodgwi officials gathered around the princess’s great seat of power. Today, as well, the meeting was continuing.

“From what I have observed, the capabilities of the ‘target’ are unexpected.”

The ‘target’ is only one human mage. It was a flan.

The secretary calmly opened her mouth. By the way, the princess was still asleep today making a sound.

The ‘girl”s gaze turned to Maiev, who was standing in the corner. Maiev had been keeping an eye on her since before.

“Shouldn’t we hold Maiev accountable~? Anyway, she didn’t bring anything. She said that was her mission failure!”

“That’s something to ponder again.”

The “Mask” Immediately intervened.

“Thanks to you, didn’t I find an interesting person again?”

“Fun? Ah…. Yeah, it’s better than expected.”

“It would be a pity if I had only removed her gloves. It was to the point where the blue flames seemed to have lost their distinctiveness.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, the secretary recalled the scenery he saw at the stadium.

Magic that is not flashy but faithful to the basics, but the basics are so deeply rooted and solid.

Root.

Dare to call it that. In this regard, the opinions of other blood ghost officers were not much different.

The ‘girl’ snorted.

“So, what will the target do next? If you’re not drawn to us, we’ll kill you. Is not it?”

“They said they were going to a subjugation festival.”

“… Under? Wizard subjugation system? I’m curious about what’s going on in my head~”

But then.

“Ahhh~ That guy acts unpredictably…. That’s what’s fun….”

“!”

I heard the princess’s murmur. All executives straighten their posture and bow their heads to show their respect.

“Princess. Please give me the next command.”

The secretary asked on behalf of the executives.

The princess yawned and barely opened her mouth. Tears were welling up in his eyes.

“I am going to change the scope of an object….”

“Range?”

“Eh. The whole guy wearing gloves. From now on, this is the definition of a thing. Hmm….”

The executives nodded.

In the past, I might have questioned this order. But now I didn’t really think so.

“Okay. Then send the mask….”

“No.”

The princess raised one hand. However, the slender arm soon picks up and collapses without strength.

“Let’s use it and bring it back…. It’s a subjugation….”

“Subjugation…. There are many places to use. Because scale is scale. Which way shall we roll it?”

“First of all, I have to take control of the commercial district….”

Subjugation system.

A festival where demons are overpowered and competed against, it is not a schedule that ends in a day or two.

Groceries, equipment, elixirs…. The input of various materials is a natural procedure. In other words, it is also a place where a huge amount of capital is rolled.

The ‘girl’ nodded.

“Well, there’s nothing more exciting than selling equipment to knights~ They fight relentlessly.”

“No.”

Once again the princess raises her hand. The slender arms pick and fall without strength again this time.

“We…. Invest in the magician unconditionally….”

“… !”

The executives’ eyes widened. ‘Mask’ asks back with a very embarrassed face.

“Princess? The Faculty of Magic is limited to one group including the target. Wouldn’t it be far from seizing the commercial power?”

“The target will do anything…. We’re preoccupied…. So that we can monopolize the supplies of the Faculty of Magic….”

“If you don’t win, I don’t think that monopoly is meaningless….”

As the mask spoke, he shrugged his shoulders. Since the opponent was the opponent, he couldn’t even strongly oppose it.

“At least that much is a thing…. So everyone knows…. Huh….”

In the end, it was decided that way. The moment he was born as a blood ghost, he could no longer disobey the princess.

But then. A bloody ghost woman who had been quiet all this time raised her hand. She was an executive called ‘The Silence’.

“Why….”

As soon as I met her eyes with the princess, the silence started sign language.

[The imperial family is also paying attention to this subjugation system. ]

“It’s probably not the entire imperial family…. Who….”

[ The second princess. ]

[Is it because he is going to die soon? ]

[ He must be very interested in magic these days. ]

“The Imperial Family…. The imperial family….”

The princess licked her lips.

“It must be a bit annoying…. Everyone pay attention to your stomach….”

The princess raised her hand again.

“Lastly, I just delivered one to Maiev…. I’ll finish the meeting….”

Her hand slowly falls to the ground.

Reassuringly—

“….”

Soon, the sound of the sleeping princess’ breathing fills the void. The officers all sighed deeply.

“….”

A feeling of pressure appeared on Maiev’s face.

Until Maiev receives the last one of hers, it is impossible for the officers to leave this place.

◈

“Dormitory…. Dormitory….”

In the morning, after welcoming Trixie as the last member of the subjugation system and having lunch, Becky headed to Plan’s room.

Thanks to the somewhat unusual instruction that the next training will take place in Plan’s room.

Becky instinctively played the trivia as she walked.

Recently, there have been quite a few glances at myself, and trying to avoid them seemed to have become a habit.

“… Oh, I can’t do this either.”

Becky let out a deep sigh.

[ What the hell is Becky doing ]

[If you’re going to select only freshmen, isn’t it normal to select carefully? Why the hell would you pick an ordinary kid? ]

[There was a rumor that he was chosen because he was his girlfriend. ]

[Isn’t the parachute a bit serious? In official events. ]

[ No, what…. Even if it’s an official event, we haven’t played properly recently. ]

Trivia’s free bulletin board is all about subjugation. However, half of them were towards him.

Thanks to that, I feel like I’m sitting on a cushion of thorns every moment.

It is enough to understand the hearts of those who write in this way. Even in my own eyes, I was normal.

“I didn’t apply for it….”

But Becky knew her subject well. He had no intention of becoming the representative of the subjugation ceremony…. I had no idea what the hell Plan was thinking when he did this.

Seeing things like this just makes me upset.

“Um…. But, it looks like a girlfriend… ?”

But the feeling of being misunderstood as Plan’s girlfriend is not bad, it’s subtle.

Because of this, it was hard not to watch Trivia. What does she mean when she keeps turning a blind eye?

I was walking while staring at Trivia like that.

Puck—!

I bumped into someone hard.

“Oh!”

Becky smacked his ass nicely. As if the other person was empty-handed, cold liquid poured over his body.

“Tea, cold!”

“Ah…. Really. What a crazy b*tch….”

I wanted to go fast, but I wasn’t in the mood to end it that way. It wasn’t until he looked at the business card that he knew why.

The color is different. If it’s a yellow business card…. It’s 2nd grade He also seemed to be aristocratic. The seniors said to the fallen Becky.

“Don’t you keep your eyes open? Ah…. I just bought it….”

“I’m sorry.”

Becky jumped up and bowed his head. When this happens, the only thing he can think of is to avoid it.

After muttering sorry a few times, Becky ran away as if running away.

Even though they are moving away as quickly as possible, the voices of the seniors coming from behind are exceptionally clear.

“Isn’t that him? The one who was chosen as the representative of the subjugation system.”

“Really? The clothes were really messy. Who doesn’t buy it?”

“You can buy me one then.”

“Are you crazy? That’s what the word is Who told that b*tch….”

Becky stopped slowly.

I didn’t want to be the head of the subjugation system, and I wanted to go and explain step by step, even now.

“The rumor about her being a girlfriend seems like a lie.”

“Sure. Who likes a kid like that….”

“He stopped?”

“Leave it. Let me dry your wet clothes.”

However, Becky was a girl who knew better than anyone else that explanations alone would not change their gaze.

They just hate Becky.

Because I’m a commoner, my clothes are messy, the perfume I use isn’t classy, I’m not particularly special…. Becky knew too well that she hated her for just that reason.

“Ehh, let’s just go….”

Becky shook her head and took another step. In her life, this was always the quickest solution.

As she walked, she arrived at Plan’s room. The door was already open, and everyone was gathered.

“Did everyone gather?”

Plan opened her mouth in his usual manner. Then, suddenly, his eyes fell on Becky.

“What are you….”

He snapped his fingers and Becky’s skin and clothes instantly cleared. It was a trick that applied purification magic.

Exactly!

The next moment he snapped his fingers again. At the same time, the picture hanging on the wall swallowed them whole.

The students looked at the surrounding scenery. Landscapes and buildings…. The first thing I saw was unfolding before my eyes.

“Don’t be surprised. Because it’s just an illusion.”

The students were surprised to hear that. How can a world that is mere illusion be so sophisticated?

Plan’s gaze turned to Trixie this time.

Trixie stands awkwardly off to one side. It was obvious that he was still embarrassed.

“You didn’t come late.”

“Because I was put on the list. That’s why you came.”

“Welcome, wizard.”

Three letters uttered by a blunt man.

It’s just a single word with a comprehensive meaning, but the deep resonance of the word gave Trixie a strange feeling.

“…Yes.”

The girl’s eyes were dark blue, depending on the day. The quiet lake seemed to contain a great resolution.

A whitish smile crossed Flan’s lips, and he continued with a serious face.

“From now on, I will not have time to waste even a single second. Today’s training is ‘Maximizing Elements’.”

Maximize.

It is one of the skills that a mage who handles a certain type of element must refine countless times.

However, like most things with the modifier ‘whatever’, the difficulty of this is also formidable. It is because there is no realm that can be said to be the end.

“Even if the elements are different, the essence of maximization is the same. We will demonstrate with rocks.”

When Plan reached out, the entire corner of the marble column was ripped off and landed in his grasp.

By the way, it wasn’t just ripped off. Marble in the form of spheres achieved the perfect golden ratio.

“On the outside, it looks like a flawless sphere. However.”

Plan tossed it at Trixie. The blue girl took it without hesitation and picked it up.

“How does it feel?”

Trixie fixes it for a moment.

“… It’s surprisingly rough. A lot of dust.”

“Exactly.”

Plann hung the sphere in the air.

And after a while, the marble sphere began to spit out impurities, just like a living creature. The three students are dumbfounded.

“This is elemental maximization. There are a lot of impurities in the elements that are handled carelessly. When all of them are regurgitated, it can be called a ‘pure element’.”

Just as you can increase the purity of mana, it is also possible to increase the purity of the elements.

Efficiency, output, speed of manifestation of mana…. It hurts to say that the effect is increased in all aspects.

Trixie thought quietly.

She had only thought about increasing the output, but had never tried to refine the elements themselves.

Looking at both sides, Louis and Becky’s expressions are similar. It seemed the same.

“Ice, fire, light…. You deal with different elements, but as mentioned earlier, the essence is the same. It is not diffcult.”

Plan put her finger in the air. Blue mana began to paint along her moving fingertips.

It was an ice barrier spell.

“Take Becky’s ice as an example, and I’m going to erase all the overlapping parts of the circuit.”

When all the overlapping parts were erased, the ice became transparent with the naked eye. It is thanks to the disappearance of conflicting mana.

Sunny light penetrates the ice and breaks it into hexagons. The students’ mouths open at that beautiful sight.

“Erase each conflicting circuit. Isn’t it easy?”

Silence fell.

I understood the principle, but I was not confident that I would succeed if I tried it.

“If it’s not easy, do it until it becomes easy. Becky.”

“Yes, yes? No, huh?”

From noble mtl dot com

Becky shook his head in surprise. She was diligently taking notes of Plan’s explanation, but before she knew it, an honorific word came out.

“Start maximizing the element of ice.”

Plan thinks highly of Becky as his assistant. It also recognizes potential.

She will definitely be able to learn maximization first today.

“I… ?”

Becky pointed her index finger at her chin, and Flanne nodded her head.

“Today’s training is only until 2 o’clock. Start.”

“Two o’clock….”

Becky’s eyes roll. Looking at the clock, the current time is 1:58.

Two minutes will pass by just making a few ice picks. My mental load has eased a bit.

But then. Trixie interjected.

“What are you talking about?”

“It is literally. Training until two o’clock.”

“… There are only three days left until the subjugation festival, so you’re saying you’re only going to train for two minutes?”

Flan didn’t bother to respond to Trixie’s words. She just turns her head and stares at Becky.

Eventually, Becky created an ice pick in the air. From now on, I will be able to lessen the impurity of this.

The moment I thought so.

Boom—!

Another ice pick flew in and crashed into it. Becky’s was shattered.

It was Plan, of course, that made it that way.

“?”

“If it was a real battle, I would have already lost. Are you kidding me?”

“Oh, sorry.”

Becky nodded, embarrassed. I guess I’ll have to think of it as practical. Much faster….

You have created an ice pick once again.

Boom—!

“… ?”

“Slow, impure.”

This time, it was destroyed almost as soon as it was created.

Becky prayed for two minutes to pass quickly, creating another ice pick.

Boom—!

Boom—!

Boom—!

.

.

.

Eight times since the ice pick was smashed, Becky looked at her watch with a great sense of discomfort.

“Uh… ?”

Involuntarily, a stupid sound leaked from my mouth.

Trixie and Louise naturally follow it. And all of a sudden, their expressions became dumb.

“… ?”

Now, even at this moment.

The clock showed 1:58.
